Publisher's Description:

Folder Lock - Folder Lock is a full suite solution letting you keep your personal files encrypted and locked, while keeping an automatic and real-time backup of encrypted files to an online storage. It also offers portable security for USB drives and CDs/DVDs. Folder Lock also lets you lock files, folders and drives; save your personal information in Wallets; shred files and clean your Windows History.

Folder Lock is the only product that offers 256-bit AES on-the-fly encryption as well as syncing of encrypted files to an online storage. No need to decrypt or manually backup your files. You can later restore files at any time, on any computer. Lockers can also be converted to executables using the 'Protect USB/CD' feature that allows you to keep your encrypted files wherever you go in USB drives or CDs and DVD or convert your files and folders to encrypted ZIP files for email attachments.

Furthermore, If you want to protect your files without encrypting them, you can also lock your files, folders and drives on your PC from access and visibility. You can also create Encrypted Wallets to save personal information like Credit Cards, Bank Accounts and Business Cards. Apart from these amazing features you can also Shred files, folders, drives and empty hard drive space. You can also clean Windows usage history.

Additionally, Folder Lock comes with additional security settings unheard before. You can activate password security and restrict access to different parts of the application using an admin level master password. You can run the application in complete stealth using the Stealth Mode feature. You can also catch and perform actions on repetitive hack attempts and on basis of incorrect password logs and you can set automatic duration based protection for your data security, so you know that your stuff is no longer accessible to anyone else when you're away from your PC.

Folder Lock works under all flavors of 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7/Vista/XP and later.

Latest User Reviews:

They don't tell you that you need admin rights on any computer you are going to use your locked folder on - or alternatively that you need to pursuade your network administrator to allow the folder lock 'driver' - and I mean driver not software programme - to be installed on an individual computer prior to being able to access the locked folder on any computer.

I now have a licensed copy of Folder Lock which I can't use because my network administrator won't play ball.

The vendor responded to one email but no more - ignoring my request for a refund on software I cannot use - had they said I needed admin rights I would not have bought it.

That said, on computers where I do have admin rights it works well - but they are not where I needed the protection. What a waste of money.

Your folder lock seems to be good. But I am afraid of using it for the reason sometime back I was using another folder lock downloaded from CNET free download. After using it for sometime it would not open and release my documents. It did not open at all and I lost files around 30 GB.

Hi, There I am very impressed abot the Program itself and I am glad that I am offered to write my experience in downloading and useing the software. Download very friendly in just few moments.It is very safe and very eassy to use. One thing it all ends up to is.... it is not free!I am very happy that I have finally found the perfect Folder lock....THANK YOU!!!! nishom143@gmail.com
